MESSAGE 1

Message from the Vice-Chancellor

The Higher Education in India plays an important role in the Human Resource Development of the nation by providing access to a large number of aspiring students to pursue quality education at affordable cost. As one of the Central Universities, Pondicherry University is conscious of its role in spreading quality education, more particularly, through reaching out to the students of all parts of the country. Towards this objective, besides offering about 160 on-campus programmes, the University has expanded its activities in the field of Distance Education in 1995 to cater to the aspirations of the students who, otherwise could not pursue higher education in the on-campus mode. Since then, the Distance Education Programmes of the University have carved out a niche on the national map of Distance Education. The fact that more than 2,00,000 students have enrolled in various programmes of the DDE through distance mode over the years bears testimony to the quality, innovative and highly demanding programmes of the Pondicherry University. The student mix includes those who are already employed and prefer to enhance their academic credentials, those who missed out the on-campus learning for a variety of reasons and those who dont have access to higher education owing to certain disadvantages. I am also happy to state that in tune with the Universitys motto Expansion, Excellence with Equity, several sectoral MBA programmes are well designed to suit the varying needs of the aspirants. Continuous learning is a basic need of every individual in the fast changing and highly competitive global scenario and I am sure, Pondicherry University is destined to cater to the distance education needs of all the stakeholders.
